Abstract

Background: Indonesia is a tropical country with high humidity and temperatures, making dermatophytosis a persistent health issue. Dermatophytoses are superficial mycoses caused by dermatophytes affecting the skin, hair, and nails. Also known as tinea infections. Purpose: To determine the incidence of dermatophytosis and types of dermatophytosis among boarding school students in Sei-Kijang, Pelalawan, Riau Province. It was conducted from August 2023 until October 2023. Methods:  This research is a simple descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The aim of the study was to detect dermatophytes in the skin lesions. Dermatophytosis examination was carried out by microscopic examination of skin scrapings with 10-20% potassium hydroxide (KOH) and fungal culture using Sabouraud’s dextrose agar and then examined with a light microscope (lactophenol cotton blue staining). Result: In this study, there were 339 research subjects with 51% male students and 49% female students with an average age of 14.3 years. This study found that the incidence of dermatophytosis was 4.1%, with male students in the 10 to 14-year-old age group having a higher infection rate (71%) than female students. The incidence of tinea corporis was 64.3%, followed by tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and tinea faciei, depending on the type of dermatophytosis. Tinea capitis and tinea unguium were not found. Conclusions: This study demonstrates a high incidence of dermatophytosis, tinea corporis being the predominant type among boarding school students in Bandar Sei-Kijang.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is a common parasitic infestation in humans and often affects children. This disease is caused by head lice, Pediculus humanus var. capitis, an ectoparasite that infests the scalp and hair with the main symptoms being itching and irritation of the scalp. Generally, children who are infested with head lice do not show serious symptoms, but in some children, it can cause problems in the form of sleep disturbances and loss of concentration when studying and this will disrupt the child's growth and development. An orphanage is a place to live with a group of children who are at risk of head lice infestation. This community service activity aims to carry out head and hair examinations, provide management for children who are positively infested with head lice, and provide education for eradicating and preventing this disease to orphanage residents. This activity was successfully carried out at the Air Jamban Village Orphanage, and the incidence of pediculosis capitis was found to be 30.7%. Children who are infested with head lice are given pharmacotherapy treatment in the form of 1% permethrin lotion and non-pharmacotherapy in the form of a wet comb. To prevent this disease, education was carried out in the form of counseling and an increase in the knowledge of the orphanage residents was obtained before and after the education. It is hoped that this activity can improve the health status of orphanage residents.

Abstract

The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is an endemic species native to Indonesia and is currently classified as Critically Endangered (CE). Conservation cannot depend solely on regulations; it requires active societal participation, strengthened by early environmental literacy. This study evaluated the impact of storytelling and outdoor learning on elementary students’ literacy in Riau Province. A one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among elementary students aged 9–13 years who met the inclusion criteria, recruited from schools surrounding Tesso Nilo National Park, Riau Province. The intervention consisted of storytelling and outdoor learning activities. Data were obtained using a 12-item questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics and paired t-tests to assess differences in literacy scores before and after the intervention. A total of 71 students participated in the study. The mean pretest score was 59.27 ± 14.08, which increased to 75.80 ± 16.79 on the posttest. A paired t-test confirmed a statistically significant improvement in conservation literacy following the intervention (t = –8.45, df = 70, p < 0.001). This finding suggests that storytelling, combined with outdoor learning, is an effective strategy for enhancing elementary school students' literacy in Sumatran tiger conservation. Storytelling and outdoor learning are effective educational strategies for improving conservation literacy among elementary school students. Early integration of environmental education into school curricula may play a crucial role in fostering long-term commitment to wildlife conservation.
